Ovie Omo-Agege, deputy senate president, has praised Ejiro
Otarigho, a driver who drove a burning tanker away from a community in Delta
state.
At the weekend, Otarigho was seen driving a tanker on fire
in Agbarho community in Delta.
Speaking with the driver over telephone, Omo-Agege, All
Progressives Congress (APC) Delta governorship candidate, described Otarigho as
a “hero”.
The senator said if not for the driver’s courage, a major
fire disaster would have occured in the community that would have claimed lives
and property.
“By your action, you
have saved a lot of our people who could have died from this accident. It is
not everyone that will have the courage to do what you just did,” Ima Niboro,
Omo-Agege’s campaign spokesman, quoted him as saying.
“By this singular act, you saved the Agbarho community from
a major disaster. And we are very proud of you.
“To me, you have become a hero to our people. And I’m sure a
lot of people will be looking up to you right now. So you have every right to
feel like a hero. I am very proud of you.”
On his part, Otarigho was quoted as saying Omo-Agege’s call
to him shows he identifies with the people.
“For a man like the deputy senate president to call me at
this crucial time, I am very happy about that. Hearing from him alone shows
that he identifies with the people,” he said.
“People have been complaining that nobody cares. That if I’d
allowed people to die they would have been coming to see the dead.
“But now I am very happy that the deputy president of the
Senate could speak to me.”
